Someone mentioned UME02. Lots of people mentioned only writing at 4X on these discs. Too slow for me.

I have burned hundreds of the Amazon and Ritek variety with no coaster. But then I always burn at half (8x) of the advertised speed and verify them all. In for another stack. Thank you OP.

don't 99.5% of all burners support all formats of media nowdays anyway? you can run over to a microcenter, and pick up a multi-format burner for 19.99 o.e.m.; i never could figure out why they (-r discs) were costlier tho.

Let us know what code(s) the discs end up being. I was tempted to buy them but too many folks are topping out at burning at 4x. I didn't feel like rolling the dice, since I'm usually burning 5-10 discs back to back and I'm usually pressed for time.

I definitely gave the OP a green when this deal was originally posted.

A reviewer on Amazon wrote a few days ago that the MID Code = AML-003-00 which is Umedisc Ltd

I was going to order a few more stacks at the even cheaper price/ Well, as usual, I missed it. Back up to $24.99.

there are always "those people" around in such deals. if your burner is old, finicky or just has never had its firmware updated, it may burn newer discs at a slower speed. I got mine in and they burn at 16x on my drive so I don't see the problem.

well i verify all brands, and sometimes use multipar too http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA021385/ to generate parity information to add another safe guard. if its important then you should burn on two brands for a double copy, and one more off site. people put too much faith in "brands", the only thing you can rely on is having extra backups and perhaps parity information to reconstruct any corruption. multipar is the multithreaded version of quickpar, with parity files you can create 5% recovery archive that is only 5% the size of the files protected, yet any 5% of that set of files can be reconstructed if corruption occurs...its neat stuff.
